journalists and other persons entered, and it then became apparent that
in the camps, and particularly in Shatila, civilians, including women
and children, had been massacred. It was clear from the spectacle that
presented itself that a considerable number of the killed had not been
cut down in combat but had been murdered, and that no few acts of
barbarism had also been perpetrated.
